Fateful Findings

source: Fateful Findings

Neil Breen is a god among of cinema, I tell you. The new Christopher Nolan, the new Tarantino. And i'm not even going to just talk about directors. He's not just the director of the film, but he's also the MAIN ACTOR, in this movie...and all of his other movies. Neil Breen is the new and improved Mel Brooks. I sure as hell hope this man has some beautiful films coming into the future. Breen's four main films (Fateful Findings, Double Down, Pass Thru, I Am Here...Now) are the best things I have ever laid eyes on. I am writing a review because this was my favorite out of the four films. Breen is a true god of dialogue (yes, of course he also wrote the screenplay). When Breen finds out that his friend is dead, he believes that it was an act of suicide, but really his wife had killed him. He asks the dead corpse laying on the ground; "I can't believe you committed suicide. I can't believe you committed suicide. How could you have done this? How could you have committed suicide?". Damn, now THAT is how you deliver a line. Someone's gotta tell King and Stielberg that they really need to step up their game. This whole movie is pretty much shot inside of ALL of what I believe to do be Neil Breen's house. And if it's not his house, than it is definitely one of his friends or something. From it being the scene of him being in the "hospital" or at a friends house, you can just always tell it's his house. I can't say much more about this movie aside from that it is nothing short of perfect, 10/10.

What more can I say, this film is a master piece, especially when intoxicated.

Neil Breen is a beloved filmmaker due to the unbelievably low quality of his movies. Almost every aspect of this film is just wrong, and not intentionally so. It's absurd and surreal by accident. A lot of what David Lynch would do on purpose, Breen does incidentally. And it's truly a spectacle to behold. This has so many of the best Breen moments. Some of this dialogue is beyond exquisite, and the performances are like straight up insane. Almost all of the actors are turning in performances that are what would happen if humans tried to make a movie by aliens about humans. And seeing the not-particularly-attractive fiftysomething Neil Breen caress a couple of gorgeous, decades-younger women is amusingly awkward and cringe inducing.

The dialogue is that of NPC conversation from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I watched the movie twice and honestly have trouble explaining what it's even about. It jumps from plot point to plot point without a fluid time line. And introduces new elements without explanation. All that aside though, it does have memorable points. I recommend watching it with a friend or two just so you can recall how bad this movie is. I know I pull out references from this movie with the friend who have seen it. If you like Trash Films, this is for you. If you do watch it, just know that when you're on your death bed, you'll look back and wish you spent the time watching this movie doing something else.

In all seriousness this movie is only enjoyable if you have a group of friends and a large amount of alcohol. From the low production value, the plot that goes nowhere, and the performances that make the movie what it is... Filler. Yes this movie has been Memed the to hell and back but I enjoyed it for what it was. Can't say if I would watch this movie alone sober though...

Our Local Theater Plays This Film Often. I Try To Make Every Showing. If We Hit The Laptop With A Film-Making Book Than We Win A Free PopCorn. I Love To Watch This Movie. I Would Consider Neil Breen To Be A Fantastic, Surreal, Compusively Watchable Film-Maker And I Have Never Met A Girl Who Disagreed! He Is Like Spielberg Meets Spike Jonze Meets Terry Gilliam And It Brings Me To Tears To Know That He Will Never Achieve Their Fame, Though I Have Faith He Will Soon Reign As King Of The Independent Film Market. Thank You, Neil Breen, For ReKindleing My Interest In Film - I Am Shooting My First Flick This Summer ! It's Called "Frank!"

A paranormal political thriller that we the theater audiences love . Its theatrical release was January 2014 , in the USA and Canada .Its being called the new / next Indie CULT CLASSIC film !!! ....and we have to agree ! With a low budget this film conveys plenty of heart ,vision and imagination. Mysticism , corrupt politics , lost romance , kicks butt and all combine for a very entertaining viewing and audience participation experience .Neil Breen , as writer , director ,continues to combine magical imaginative and metaphorical moments with social responsibility . A genre - defying film . A must see .We all really had fun and could not talking about it . Want to see it again !!

If you review this as a film- it's acting, it's dialogue, it's plot and it's cinematography- Neil Breen's movies resemble Wiseau's 'The Room'. Everything is so amateur and leaves the viewer questioning the director's sanity due to how he could see this as a complete movie. Neil fully resembles Tommy; both are under the illusion that their movies are masterpieces due to the fame garnered when in reality they're just well known due to their odd existence. Neil is also the main character of his films, in this case, Fateful Findings, further supporting the argument that he's just gone a little bit crazy because of his midlife crisis . If you expect a comprehensible movie, you're looking in the wrong place. If, however, you're looking for something to laugh at with a few friends, this is a great movie to watch. Honestly, I enjoyed it; Fateful Findings is so unaware of what it truly is, making it a thoroughly hilarious experience. Now, I am being a little vague with what this movie is about and that's because it feels like a soap opera- there really isn't a plot, just 'social' interaction. So many things happen at the same time- Neil's character Dylan is hacking the government, then a friend of his is murdered. he also spills his coffee in one of the most exaggerated, immersion breaking, attempts to act I have ever seen. If you want a film for cheap gags- 10/10 If you want a real film- 2/10

Neil Breen is a director who doesn't care for filmmaking rules, mainly because he doesn't know any of them. You know how movies are supposed to be 'show, don't tell'? Neil Breen tells and tells and tells. Breen doesn't trust our brains to make even the most basic connections. In Breen's universe, a guy who just saw a car accident has to literally say 'I'm a witness!', because otherwise our feeble minds may not understand that complex concept. He writes dialogues like English is not his first language, or even in the top five for that matter. Because his movies are so surreal, Breen has often been compared to "The Room"'s Tommy Wiseau. The main difference is that lightning only struck once for old Tommy. He hasn't made anything remotely entertaining since 2003. Breen however keeps churning them out, with no difficulties whatsoever. This is a guy who doesn't have to do any effort to stay weird, incomprehensible and because of that, incredibly fascinating. I'm writing this review for "Fateful Findings", but it could work for any of his movies. They're all pretty much the same. Breen always casts himself as an implausibly perfect being who rids the world of all the evils. The evils are usually found in the big companies, who are driven by greed and don't care about people. I know this because the villains actually have to say that in all his movies. Breen doesn't even know the meaning of subtext, and that's why we all love him so much. As interesting as his movies are to watch, a making-of would certainly be infinite times better. There are just so many questions that remain unanswered here. How much does he have to pay these beautiful young 'actresses' (models at best) to pretend they're in love with him? Why does a man who's clearly in his 50s keep casting himself as a thirty-something? Why do the characters pause roughly thirty seconds between each line? How do you hack the government on laptops that aren't even on? Why do we have to see Neil Breen semi-* so often throughout his movies? For a guy who spells our every detail, Breen sure does leave plenty of questions. Tommy Wiseau and James "Birdemic" Nguyen ended up ruining their charm by becoming self-aware, but I honestly don't see that happening with Breen. To him, there's clearly not a funny moment to be found in any of his movies, and that's why they work: because he takes them so damn seriously while nobody else does. Furthermore, his heart seems to be in the right place. He clearly wants to make a statement about all the injustice in the world, in between showing his abs. I applaud him for that, he's a so-bad-it's-good filmmaker I can really get behind.
